CENGIZ TEKIN
b. 1977, TurkiyeHaving received his bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts Education Painting Department in Çukurova University (1999, Adana), Cengiz Tekin (b. 1977, Diyarbakır) uses photography and video in his artistic practice. Discussing the rooted social matters such as tradition and family, the artist specifically focuses on both the local and the global political agenda. Through documentation, Tekin unveils the irony behind the trusted routine and presents the uncanny forms that cause interruption. Generally departing from his own experiences, the artist draws attention to the issues of taking shelter and seeking refuge, which he approaches as a global urgency.
